Misfits...

1) Has the humour in this episode advanced from what we have seen in "Are You Being Served"?

In "Are You Being Served" the comedy is very staged and quite predictable. The comedy is based on the actions of the characters for example sending the letter and splitting the trousers. Where as "Misfits" is more about banter between the characters and the way they speak to each other. The language used in "Are You Being Served" is very posh and formal, the characters respect each other  in the way they speak which is the complete opposite to "Misfits". The characters in "Misfits" don't respect each other, they are sarcastic and not afraid to make fun of each other.

2) Are the generations or sexes divided by humour?

Yes both generations and sexes are divided by humour in "Misfits". We think this because it is clear that the young offenders have no respect for their probation officer, they don't acknowledge this importance/authority.
